Case Law Development: Incompetent and Dishonest Family Law Practice

An Ohio Attorney has had his licensed suspended for two years for incompetent and dishonest representation in a number of cases.  Worth bringing to the attention of the family law student is the fact that a number of the attorney's violations included telling a client to keep his children in violation of a court order to transfer the children to the other parent and sending other attorneys to hearings when those attorneys were not prepared to handle the case.
